Corrections & clarifications.

When WaterRadar is wrong, the fix is dated, attributed and kept on the record — never quietly edited away. This is the same principle as our confidence badges: nothing that matters stays hidden.

Standing corrections policyLog current as of 16 Aug 20262 on the record

The policy

  1. Every material correction is logged. Factual errors in a claim, figure, limit or date are recorded here with the date they were fixed — not silently overwritten.
  2. Attributed, not anonymous. The Corrections Editor owns each fix; the change is accountable to a named human, like every byline.
  3. Primary-source first. We re-check against the original filing or registry before amending, and note what the primary text actually says.
  4. Clarifications are separate from corrections. A clarification sharpens wording that was defensible but could mislead; a correction fixes something that was wrong. Both are on the record.
